“Europe Faces Increased Heat Mortality in Coming Decades”
CLIMATE ARCHIVE
Artificial Light Lengthens the Urban Growing Season
New research shows that artificial light at night lengthens the plant growing season in cities, overshadowing the effect of high urban temperatures.
Machine Learning Model Flags Early, Invisible Signs of Marsh Decline
Decreases in underground plant biomass could signal future marsh loss and prompt conservation measures.
Whaling Records Can Help Improve Estimates of Sea Ice Extent
The locations of humpback whale catches in the early 20th century indicate that most climate models overestimate the historic extent of sea ice in the Southern Ocean.
Midlatitude Storm Dynamics Better Explained by Lagrangian Analysis
Examining the growth of storms using ERA-5 reanalysis data reveals a nonlinear relationship between baroclinicity and storm activity under extreme conditions.
Earth’s Energy Imbalance is Growing Faster Than Expected
Satellite observation of the imbalance between incoming and outgoing radiation in the atmosphere, which causes global warming, shows growth beyond what climate models have predicted.
Pollution from Wildfires Can Contaminate Our Water for up to 8 Years, Study Finds
An analysis of 500 watersheds found levels of organic carbon, phosphorus, and other pollutants up to 103 times higher after a wildfire.
House Passes Trump’s Spending Bill, With Consequences for the Climate

Warming Gulf of Maine Buffers Ocean Acidification—For Now
Scientists constructed a 100-year history of acidity in the Gulf of Maine. They expected coastal variability but were surprised by what they didn’t find: a strong anthropogenic signal.
The Mid-20th Century Winter Cooling in the Eastern U.S. Explained
A new analysis of historical jet stream behavior reveals that increases in jet stream waviness accounted for 55-71% of winter cooling in the eastern United States from 1958 to 1988.
